5.9 I can describe the trend in boiling point and viscosity of the main fractions





a.       What is the trend in boiling point of the fractions?
        The higher the boiling point of the fractions the slower it takes for the substance to boil out
b.      Define viscosity (source your definition)
      Resistance of a liquid to shear forces
c.       What is the trend in viscosity of the fractions?
        The higher the boiling point of the fraction the greater the viscosity of the fractions 
d.      What is the trend in color of the fractions?
        The higher the boiling point of the fraction the darker the color
e.      Why is crude oil separated into fractions?
        So that it is able to be used because Crude Oil by itself is useless 
f.        What process is used to separate crude oil into fractions?
      Fractional Distillation 
g.       What physical property allows this process to work?
      The different boiling points of each fraction
